Romford's Pancake Paradise
Romford boasts several excellent choices for pancake enthusiasts.

If you prefer crepes, Kaspa's (The Brewery Shopping Centre) serves up a delicious array including banoffee, brownie, and strawberry & cream varieties. Poppins Cafe (Western Road), a Romford institution since 1979, offers a 'Choclog' pancake – a chocolate lover's dream – alongside more traditional American-style pancakes. Finally, Toastea Cafe (Whitchurch Road) provides a simple but satisfying choice with their 'American Dream' stack (bacon and maple syrup) or customizable pancake stacks.
Beyond Romford: Crepe & Pancake Delights
